Installing Perrin Performance Upgrades for Gump! // Subaru Forester XT

[@scottparrott6669]

So, funny that you mentioned the torque spec with the extension. Back in 1984, my high school shop teacher told us that. 45yrs I have never until NOW heard anyone say anything about it. Thank you for validating my 45yrs of torque wench logic.

[@scirarocco]

Good work. Tip for cutting smaller diameter hoses in situ, with restricted access, get a cheap cigar cutter. It gives a nice even square cut.

[@bentandre5524]

love how you take care of your cars. so much better than spoiled youtubers who buy a C8 and destroy the engine with big turbos within a month or two

[@Primus54]

I truly hope your viewers appreciate all the effort that goes into these truly professional-esque videos. The downside of you being the creator is you don’t get to experience the joy and admiration we do as viewers. You have an artistic gift that is quite uplifting.

[@TimmyMoza]

Its so amazing how over time your garage has evolved and improved to what it is now. Your talent is finally getting matched up with your work area and tools... longtime follower, not too often commenter... but I really enjoy that you keep to your roots and do ‘garage’ style DIY still... please dont change your style... you rock!

Sarah are you building a track day Gump? That would be something really unique. I don't see how you are able to get your hands into some of the places you work on. I always feel I'm sticking my hand in a vice. I'm glad you are no longer working in a garage oven. Great video Sarah always enjoy watching you work.

Just found your channel and I love it! I am a female who loves to work on anything mechanical. You are a great power of example for any young women that might be interested in this stuff!

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

Don't worry about the torque. An extension won't change the torque. Only if you use something offset, like a crowfoot wrench will it change.

[@robb1165]

Its was a long wobble extension. There is almost zero chance to use it without supporting both ends of the torque wrench. That would change the torque getting to the fastener, thus her comment.

[@wayne9518]

An extension of sufficient torsional rigidity will lose a negligible amount of torque between indicated and applied due to windup of the extension. So use the shortest stoutest extension you can.

[@AJGreen-cn8kk]

@@wayne9518 I like your explanation. You sure sound like an engineer I used to work with!

[@lowlifeangler]

Subaru uses a Santoprene material for their Air Flow Tubes , Toyota uses EPDM rubber with thicker dimensions. Honda uses different material and thin out the tubes to save money , around 1.8 mm in the bellows, that often cracks

[@kellywren9215]

Never been jealous of a camera until now....Keep it up, great quality as always.

[@alexanderh.999]

[@wolfy5471]

Binding is the word you were looking for in regard to the steering.

[@larryhall6416]

Looks like the tires are out of alignment. Outside of the tire is scuffed. Love your work. Such a perfectionist. Love it.

[@SarahnTuned]

Larry Hall that’s because it hasn’t been aligned since I put the coilovers on, no point until I’m done upgrading stuff and put new tires on.

[@frankybarra6067]

Was wondering? Are there any more of you out there? I want one. You are quite amazing!

[@jessemcenulty4095]

You can use an extension on the torque wrench. As long as it stays co-axial with the bolt, the torque reading will be unaffected. And I am a former Space Shuttle engineer actually :)

[@danoneill2846]

yep

[@amillionbandzC4]

Sarah you're so funny with the cute turbo comment, thank you for your hard work I've learned a lot 🚗

[@jameslongobardo274]

Sarah you make my day everytime I watch one of your videos you are so full of life and your so much fun to watch. Don't worry about the straight extension it changes nothing. And even if it did it would be so small it wouldn't matter. Looking forward to your next

[@kenchristensen1244]

Torque specs are fine with extensions unless by using one, you change the length of the torque wrench. This is why when using crow foot wrenches, you need to mount them 90 degrees to the wrench head.

[@pricey0986ify]

Omg you said Aluminium correctly!! 👍👏😄😃

[@pauljohnson7382]

9:48- Yeah, I'd be shakey too

[@nielsdebakker3283]

That camera shot was quite stable. But is there a pc word for that camera position?

[@georgeemeny6123]

Hello Sarah, thought of you yesterday and this morning. My OCD kicked in yesterday. All I was going to do, was rotate my tires and clean inner half of the wheels. Well, got carried away trying to clean road grime off of the suspension and inner wheel well plastic. Spent 2 hours polishing lug nuts. What's wrong with me? The car is not a garage queen, but it shouldn't have been as dirty as it was.

[@TheHallPartnership]

Hi from England. Great video. Appreciate you pronounced aluminium correctly.

[@DDescalchuk57]

Good quality torque wrench doesn’t really lose any accuracy torquing with an extension as long as the fastener remains at a 90 degree angle with the head

[@neoanderson7]

Anytime you can eliminate potential fail points it’s always a good thing! 👍🏻 With the amount of work you put in, you’ve inspired me to do my own. I’m grateful because I found more than a few things other people have skimped on throughout the years the car was taken for service. I’ve rectified a lot of issues. I’m hoping to get the car back on the road by the end of the month! 👏🏻 Can’t wait to see some of the goodies you got for the gump! 👏🏻🎉

[@arthurdentau]

That's nice........ Love you Sarah. Don't ever change mate, you are perfect the way you are.

[@NevadaMirage]

Your torque is fine through an extension. The only time torque changes is if you use an offset attachment like a dog-bone and the angle changes in relation to the wrench head. Extensions don't change that angle, you're fine.

[@humantribe]

Perrin makes high-quality parts and I wish they would consider making a turbo kit. They did a build for a Lotus Elise, fabricating the turbo manifold, but didn't pursue going further and making a kit. Sad times we live in. Anywho, awesome video. Keep'm coming.

[@tonygiraldes7848]

Hello... Sarah of the Garage. 👍🏻 Good to see Garage Sarah back, since I prefer the mechanical videos. I started to feel like we were seeing more of Abandoned Warehouse Sarah lately. 😉 The OCD "PSA" was friggin funny! I also suffer from the same disorder, it sucks sometimes! 🤣

[@SarahnTuned]

You're going to see more reviews after this, waiting on cage to get finished in the Focus and I need parts still for the Forester.

[@TroyPosey]

@@SarahnTuned Yeah, waiting on parts sucks...Especially in 2020 with all this crap going on, that allowed the manufacturing companies to get backed up, and the shipping companies to be borderline useless...As if they needed another excuse to slack off. 🙄 But, It's all good Sarah. 👍🏻 I don't mind the reviews, as a matter of fact, I typically watch them. I just prefer the mechanical videos a little more, since I like working on my trucks, and always have built my own vehicles. But that's all just personal preference. I'll still be around watching all your videos, don't worry. 😉

Subaru Regional should use Gump for training because it is so clean! Also an extension does not change torque if perpendicular although the universal can.
